The Content Viewer (II)

Movie Settings

Conference Sizes. You can select up to two conference sizes. Your selection of conference sizes in the Template Editor should be based on the end-user’s streaming environment and Internet connection.

Audio-only.If your users have a very poor quality Internet access, choose ‘Audio-only’. The average bit rate for streaming the conference will be around 35 kbps. Audio from the Main source will be recorded and played back, and if Dual Video is activated during the call, it will be displayed as still images.

Small. If your users have 64k modem access, choose ‘Small’. The average bit rate for streaming the conference will be around 51 kbps.

The resolution of the recorded video in the Switching layout will be up to 160x120 pixels (for QCIF, CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls) and 212x120 pixels (for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p). In the Two Videos layout, Dual Video will be displayed as still images only.

Medium. If your users have broadband access to the Internet (around 500kbps), choose ‘Medium’. The bit rate for streaming the conference will depend on the bandwidth of the call, but will be capped at 471 kbps. So, for example, a 128k call bandwidth will result in a 117kbps streaming bit rate for your conference, and a 384k call bandwidth will result in a 353kbps bit rate. All calls 512K and over will result in a 471kbps bit rate for your streaming conference.

The resolution of the recorded video will depend on the video format negotiated for the call as well as the call bandwidth, apart from QCIF calls, which will always get a 160 × 120 pixels resolution.

In the Switching layout, the resolution will be:

240 × 180 pixels for CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or below 384k;

320 × 180 pixels for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p calls made at or below 384k;

320 × 240 pixels for CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or above 512k;

424 × 240 pixels for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p calls made at or above 512k.

Movie Settings

Large. If your users have access to a high-speed LAN, choose ‘Large’. Beware, the bit rate for streaming the conference will depend on the bandwidth of the call, and can be as high as 1.76Mbps for a 1920k call. Users on broadband connections which cannot support this streaming bit rate will get a very poor streaming experience, with video buffering, stopping and starting (stuttering). This format also takes the longest to transcode.

The resolution of the recorded video will depend on the video format negotiated for the call as well as the call bandwidth, apart from QCIF calls, which will always get a 160 × 120 pixels resolution, CIF calls, which get 352 × 264 pixels and w288p calls, which get 512 × 288 pixels.

In the Switching layout, the resolution will be:

480 × 360 pixels for 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or below 768k;

640 × 360 pixels for w448p, w576p and 720p calls made at or below 768k;

576 × 448 pixels for 2.5CIF calls made at or above 1152k;

576 × 448 pixels for 2.5CIF calls made at or above 1152k;

768 × 448 pixels for w448p, w576p and 720p calls made at or above 1152k.

Large and Medium sizes have been designed to

provide the optimum viewing experience based on

adaptive algorithms which are dependent on the video format negotiated during the call and the bandwidth of the call. Higher quality inputs with a large amount of data will result in a high resolution and high streaming bit rate outputs—e.g.

a Large size Windows Media Switching layout template used in a w576p call made at a bandwidth of 1920k will result in a 768 × 448 video streaming at a bit rate of 1.76 Mbps. Lower quality inputs with less data will result in lower resolution and lower bit rate outputs—e.g. the same Large size template used in a 384k 4CIF call will result in a 480 × 360 video streaming at 353 kbps.
